Beth I looked at your item and they are nice. I also looked in Pina's book "Designed & Signed 50 & 60s glass, ceramics, and enamel wares. I did not find this particular design. If you look very carefully around the deisign, usually there is a signature. Briard was not the only designer of this style so it could be by someone else. Hope this helps a little Terry

there will not be a signature, Briard never went anywhere close to them. The design of "arab" polo players is actually a traditional Persian motif, and the shape is persian tea glasses. I vote factory made persian bazaar tea glasses with screened decoration.

When Terry and I talk about the item being signed, we don't mean that Georges Briard actually signed them :lol: At least what I meant was that the glasses would have Georges Briard as part of the design or screen printed on them like these Fred Press glasses.

I checked out the Fred Press items you pointed me to. They in fact look a lot like my glasses, stylewise at least. Can you recommend a good reference book for this genre of glass but not specific to a particular maker? I have a bunch of depression and elegant glass reference books, but nothing about this kind of art glass.
